What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is a word created by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the 1970s referring to
permanent agriculture as well as permanent culture.Permaculture is a philosophy that looks at
the world as a whole and that distills its wisdom from observation of the natural world.It is a philosophy of working together rather than against nature, which aims at the development
of sustainable human settlements and self-maintained agricultural systems modeled from naturalecosystems. It is a design system and philosophy for a permanent sustainable life in present as in the future.

The Core and base of Permaculture are the Ethics and Principles illustrated in the Permaculture Flower.

Take Care of the Earth: Provision for all life systems to continue and multiply. This is the first principle, because without a healthy earth, humans cannot flourish.

Share the Surplus: Healthy natural systems use outputs from each element to nourish others. We humans can do the same. By governing our own needs, we can set resources aside to further the above principles.

Observe and interact: By taking time to engage with nature we can design solutions that suit our particular situation.

Catch and store energy: By developing systems that collect resources at peak abundance, we can use them in times of need.

Obtain a yield: Ensure that you are getting truly useful rewards as part of the work that you are doing.

Apply self-regulation and accept feedback: We need to discourage inappropriate activity to ensure that systems can continue to function well.
